TREBIC on sales tax

The folks at the Triad Real Estate and Building Industry Coalition want you to vote for the sales tax. They've been circulating an ad on behalf of the tax, which is on the May 6 ballot (click to enlarge):

The politics at play here is pretty simple: the legislature gave counties the authority to enact a sales tax or a property tax increase to take care of some expenses related to Medicaid, schools and what not. It's an either/or proposition. So doing the sales tax avoids the property tax, and the builders, developers and Realtors who make up TREBIC hate them some property tax.

Anything the TREBIC CARTEL is for I am against. VOTE NO on TAX increase. While you are at it DO NOT VOTE for Michael McKinney another TREBIC CARTEL Member for Guilford County School Board at large.

The TREBIC CARTEL wants to put it’s stamp on everything in Guilford County. If the people of this county don’t wake up to the unethical and down right influence of the TREBIC CARTEL on rules & regulations , policies and procedures and campaign contributions
than anything goes welcome to the TREBIC TRIAD.

Look at what Michael “Love to see his TREBIC CARTEL 2008 Campaign Contributions” Mckinney wants to do:

explore outsourcing construction to private developers that build and lease schools to the district

Wonder why he wants to do this it is a part of the TREBIC CARTEL and their influence in Guilford County and Greensboro and High Point’s City Councils.
